Kids' Activities in Bournemouth

Sandy beaches, pine-scented chines, and year-round seaside life

No spam. Just a heads-up when we launch.

Sandy beaches, pine-scented chines, and year-round seaside life

Bournemouth has seven miles of sandy beach, which is its trump card for families. The chines (wooded ravines running down to the sea) give the town a distinctive character, and the Lower and Upper Gardens create a green corridor through the centre. It's a seaside town that has enough going on year-round to not feel dead in winter. Westbourne and Southbourne are the main family areas, both with their own high streets and community feel.

Beach days dominate from April to October. The east cliff beaches tend to be quieter than the pier area. The Oceanarium on the seafront keeps toddlers busy on wet days. The Lower Gardens have a mini golf course and aviary. Hengistbury Head is a nature reserve with a land train that trundles out to Mudeford Spit. Kids love the journey as much as the destination. Moors Valley Country Park is twenty minutes away and has one of the best play trails in the south. The libraries and community centres in Winton, Charminster, and Southbourne run regular baby and toddler sessions.

Places Families Go in Bournemouth

Bournemouth Beach

Seven miles of sand. The east cliff end is quieter. Build sandcastles, paddle, or just walk the prom with a sleeping baby.

Hengistbury Head

Nature reserve with a land train to Mudeford Spit. The train ride alone makes it worthwhile for toddlers. Great for spotting wildlife.

Moors Valley Country Park

Forestry England site with a play trail, Go Ape, narrow gauge railway, and cycling trails. One of the best family day-outs in Dorset.

Lower Gardens

Tree-lined gardens running from the centre to the sea with mini golf, an aviary, and a stream. Pleasant for a buggy walk.

Areas We'll Cover in Bournemouth

Bournemouth parents know they're lucky with the beach and they use it year-round. You'll see buggies on the prom in February. The town has a more diverse, younger population than people assume, thanks to the universities and the language schools.
